CHOROIDAL MELANOMA/RETINAL DETACHMENT (9 year old Australian Shepherd)

First seen one year prior to this photograph at a screening clinic, the pigmented mass and perilesional retinal detachment have progressed (black arrows). The dog showed no subjective signs of pain or visual impairment. The owner refused enucleation.

Who can believe that there is no soul behind those luminous eyes? --Theophile Gautier, French writer and critic
